For four seasons now, Patti Stanger has been helping multi-million dollar peens do their picking on her show, "The Millionaire Matchmaker."

On this season of "The Millionaire Matchmaker," Patti Stanger has been in New York City, since apparently the single ladies here have been begging her for years to help.

The New York season of "The Millionaire Matchmaker" has been a little rough to watch so far. Between Patti Stanger's broken engagement, her emotional outbursts (mostly at the new intern), and her total lack of comprehension of the NYC dating scene, she's been in a noticeably foul mood. However, her concept of the…

Since we met Patti Stanger a mere two years ago, we've fallen in love with Bravo's "The Millionaire Matchmaker." We don't always agree with the advice she doles out Tuesdays at 9 p.m., but her brutal honesty is irresistible -- even if it requires her to say some harsh words about a…

I had been feeling lost without the weekly wisdom (ha) from The Millionaire Matchmaker's Patti Stanger. Luckily, there are some exclusive interviews online, including the one above, in which Patti discusses how gay and lesbian dating is different from heterosexual dating. In it, she pontificates on how rich, ugly gay men date hot men, and…

Heads might roll in Patti Stanger's office today. It seems that she or her Millionaire's Club staff did not vet all of the women who they set their rich clients up with for The Millionaire Matchmaker, and TMZ reports that Cidney, the women who was proposed to on Tuesday night's episode,…

Last night was the season finale of The Millionaire Matchmaker (sadness!), and, of course, it ended on a positive note. While having a romantic evening in Las Vegas, Paul, a Jewish, self-made millionaire from Azerbaijan, proposes to his shocked date, Cidney. Her response is, "I'll consider it," because she wants them to get to know…

Last night's Millionaire Matchmaker featured Brendan, a young (26!) New Jersey millionaire, and Robby, aka "The Roller Rapper," who is 39 and just finished roller-skating across the country on what he calls his "Love Tour," raising money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

There are times when I struggle being a person of limited height, i.e., when I want a box of cereal on the top shelf at the grocery store, when I need to replace the battery in my smoke alarm, or when I want to kiss a guy who is 6'4'' and I'm not wearing heels.

Last nightâ€™s Millionaire Matchmaker featured Peter, who designs and markets cosmetics, and sells videos of himself doing Qi Gong, along with buddies Tai and German (pronounced â€œHair-Monâ€) who want to do everything together, including meet their dates shirtless.

If you get really desperate,…

The Millionaire Matchmaker has completely sucked me in. Last night, Patti dealt clients Lonnie (as in Lonnie Moore, co-owner of the Dolce Group, which owns clubs like Les Deux in LA) and Patrick, who is a â€œdiamond in the rough,â€ according to Patti. (He wears the same clothes he wore 20 years ago.) Here's a…

There is something fascinating in seeing how the obscenely rich live. Who hasnâ€™t drooled over the mansions in Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous or obsessed about Tony Hawkâ€™s personal skate park on MTV Cribs? And now, with Bravoâ€™s The Millionaire Matchmaker, you get to see how they date. Or at least how they date…

Taking a page out of those girls you went to high school with who can't stop smugly posting every detail of their perfect lives on Facebook, Lady Gaga shaded America's youngest grandma Taylor Swift just perfectly on Twitter yesterday. It all started when Jaime King's unborn child's godmother tweeted about Gaga, using the preferred…

Oh look, it's hottest DILF alive, Ryan Gosling, making a rare appearance in public grabbing lunch in LA today. And what's that I see? In addition to his perfectly worn T-shirt (that collar is stretched just so), hoodie and leather jacket, the Gos is rocking a few faint letters on his knuckles, spelling out the…
